expects that the roof will be on by August

the congregation, and the rector is calling
on the parishioners for donations for the
church building fund. He has met with
great deal of encouragement, as a rule,
thus far in his visitations, and has often
been agreeably disappointed in receiving
generous amounts in houses in which he
scarcely expected it, and occasionally also
been disappointed in reality in not receiv-
ing what he did expect, and supposed he
was justified in expecting.

seemed to be very well up in tactics. They
drew very large crowd of spectators, par
ticularly the small boys, who seemed to
enjoy the martial glory and Importance of
the Cadets. The latter are eagerly looking
forward to the good time they will have on
the Fourth of July.

quite good crowd. Had the attendance
been as good all through the amount
realized would have been at least doubled.
